 DRAM.

you should provide us with bug reports or log tails if processes go
down without obvious reason, this will help us make things better.

Aarno has benchmarked an sms based installation to handle around
300-350 msg/sec, which would result in a day total limit of almost
half a million.

Usually your smsc connections will never reach that kind of limits.

256 MB RAM should be suitable if the machine is not handling to much
"other" things.
